cenLR: Centred logratio coefficients

In matthias-da/robCompositions: Compositional Data Analysis

Centred logratio coefficients

Description

The centred logratio (clr) coefficients map D-part compositional data from the simplex into a D-dimensional real space.

Usage

cenLR(x, base = exp(1))

Arguments

x	multivariate data, ideally of class data.frame or matrix
base	a positive or complex number: the base with respect to which logarithms are computed. Defaults to exp(1).

Details

Each composition is divided by the geometric mean of its parts before the logarithm is taken.

Value

the resulting clr coefficients, including

x.clr	clr coefficients
gm	the geometric means of the original compositional data.

Note

The resulting data set is singular by definition.
